corporate news
In India since 1998, Lectra opened
its own subsidiary based in Banga-
lore in 2008. “India is a fast-devel-
oping key market for Lectra, partic-
ularly for apparel, automotive, wind
energy and aerospace markets. Indi-
an manufacturers have now reached
a critical size and require local ex-
pert support to optimize the benefits
derived by using Lectra solutions”,
said Daniel Harari, Lectra CEO.
“Considering all these require-
ments in India, Lectra has decided to
considerably reinforce its presence
and make significant new invest-
ments by doubling its Indian team
from 12 to 24 people, opening two
more offices and an International
Call Center in Bangalore, besides
strengthening its sales and distribu-
tion network and relationship with
local partners. The expanding In-
dian domestic market is contribut-
ing to growth in the manufacturing
segment, especially in the fashion
and automotive industries where
Lectra has developed unrivalled,
worldwide, innovative and exten-
sive knowledge and best practices
with leading global brands and sup-
pliers”, he added.
